Caol Ila Signatory Vintage Small Batch Edition #12 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2013 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany highlights and a warm, reddish-brown glow.

Nose

Caol Ila's peat and iodine rise first, mingling with sea-salt brine and a coastal mineral lift. The Oloroso sherry deepens with dried fig, raisin, and burnt sugar, while almond and vanilla from the oak offer warmth. Subtle cocoa and spice weave through, with a whisper of leather, finishing on a buoyant, maritime note.

Palate

Coastal peat rises with the warmth of Oloroso, delivering a dense, smoky sweetness. Salted caramel, dried fig and raisin mingle with cocoa and toasted almond, while citrus zest cuts through the richness. Creamy yet nervy, the palate carries mineral brine and a long ember-like finish edged with spice.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with maritime brine and Oloroso richness. Dark prune and fig sweetness unfold alongside cocoa, roasted almond, and spice, as peat coats the palate and toasted oak lingers, leaving a warm, balanced fade.
